Recently, we highlighted the Health Plan of San Mateo’s Community Care Settings Pilot, made possible through Cal MediConnect.
The Center for Health Care Strategies, with support from The Commonwealth Fund, developed a profile to describe the innovative pilot program developed by the Health Plan of San Mateo (HPSM).
The profile provides an in-depth account of HPSM’s experiences as it implements the pilot program, which is aimed at helping dually eligible beneficiaries in nursing facilities transition back to their communities and helping those at risk of nursing home placement to remain in their communities.
Lessons learned detailed in the profile may help other health plans, states, and providers develop approaches to better serve dually eligible beneficiaries with extensive LTSS needs.
The profile, entitled “Housing Options for High-Need Dually Eligible Individuals: Health Plan of San Mateo Pilot”, can be found here.
